is useless unless children kneel to the promise of a Better Life
but the “un-less” of a Better Life is without ground

Earth

without which there is no promise is useless unless children
stand against a Better Life because a better life is beyond promise
—a better life is to have a past the future is of use—where time is worth

for if our future cannot from our past
make a grave upon which a better life is promised
than our earth is without Earth and our time worthless

thinking endangers the danger of those who think the Danger requires great "resource" humane "technique" & world "order" according to a thinking without any thought of the danger the Danger requires: endangering unthought in thinking the "Wild" without a wild requires no danger in thinking

beyond Earth are other Beings & other beings that ever beset with violence have technology's ruin to relieve them of resource. immortality enough! to immolate the ambition of con-quest Being & beings beset with the violence that will know no peace because peace is never an instrument

without the wild
no land-lives raised as holocaust;
no holocaust of water for sea-lives raised as slaughter;
no fruit-lives or crop-lives ordered in soils once a ground & now
the militant expanse of valleys laboring under the violence

the mastery—once the persuasion of what immortal matters!

a homeless sky, a horizon that wanders away; this old
old earth withdrawn—surrendering to solar wealth
wind's great affluence & even the sea here-to-fore
essence of dominion

wisdom once attributed to God is now Ours
on the way to being a troubled world the good earth was wise
a wild kept thinking clear of the violence—but now we know Reason is not a resource God leaves behind

nothing is for not
and this not
is an eternity
for every deity
that has ever died
—there where a sun shines
and yet a sun that can
has nothing and is not even
one photon of we who have
not thought of it at all

the “look” from the idea of the tool sees us—identifying the annihilation
thru an effort to capture what haunts being alive
—this shuttering of light intended to conceal
what not even in dying will death reveal
